Clinic: Gaskets, Glue, and You

This "hands-on" session will provide tips and tricks to allow the director to better understand the various "gaskets" that we use in our everyday instruments.   Please bring an old clarinet upper joint, old sax neck, and an old flute head joint if you wish to participate in the "lab" group.   The clinician will provide all materials and supplies.
